QANTAS SIGHTSEEING FLIGHT TO PROMOTE AUSTRALIA’S UNIQUE TOURISM WONDERS
Qantas’ Great Southern Land scenic flight will today take 150 Australians on a once-in-a-lifetime aerial tourism flight over some of Australia’s most iconic destinations.
The full-day outing on board a Qantas 787 Dreamliner usually reserved for long haul international flights, will feature a number of low-level flybys of key locations along the New South Wales and Queensland coasts as well as Uluru in the Northern Territory.
The flight path has been designed by Qantas flight crew to showcase the unique Australian landscape from a different perspective, and without having to worry about continued border closures.
Captain Alex Passerini said that while they often pass over these landmarks as part of normal flying, it’s at 35,000 feet rather than the circa 4,000 feet that the scenic flight will drop to at key points.
“We will angle the aircraft so that passengers on both sides get a great view, in particular of Uluru after we were granted special permission for the flyover. It’s going to be a really special day and we are excited to be back in the air again.”
